Re: [gentoo-user] ALSA: All modules loaded, mixer unmuted, still no sound

[gentoo-user] Acerhk and dri problem on travelmate 803
Hello all,I have an acer travelmate LCI803 laptop running gentoo (of course)I have followed the instructions and gentoo-wiki about my laptop and several others ressources on forum and wiki. everything was fine: * hotkeys (using acerhk)* fglrx (using latest ati-drivers )* fbsplash/bootsplash* ...until I upgrade...I switched from gcc 3.3.6 to 3.4 (folowing the instructions on wiki) then I updated xorg and ati-drivers First, i had to switch to xorg drm for my ati radeon because latest ati-drivers does not support dlloader and my hardened use flag need it (or X die with a libbitmap.a problem...)Now I can start xorg, i have a better glxgears but if I try to leave x to go in a console, I get a black screen, keyboard and mouse not responding and I have to hard reboot... Second, after gcc, and xorg/dri update, my module acerhk stop working. The module loads without a warning but no rep under /proc/driver and rmmod acerhk segfault! :-/Of course, i have recompiled my kernel and modules-rebuild'ed the external modules after my upgrades but nothing works. I can not have acerhk working nomally... Any helps greatly appreciated!!thanks in advanceBenoit

If you could teach portage to fetch pieces (like some other tools do) from different mirrors till you saturate your line, your download would be considerably faster (all your band would be used). So, lets say I can use a program and tell it to use the GENTOO_MIRRORS variable to download various pieces of the same file (reaching the mirror servers limit and after a while your band limit), this would ensure you would always use the max band you can...

[gentoo-user] hard lockups w/nfs, md raid5
I've got a homebuilt server running gentoo. I just built a software (linux md) RAID5 array using four SATA drives (connected via a Promise PCI SATA card). In addition to the RAID array, there's a SCSI drive from which the OS boots and runs; two PATA drives merged together under lvm2; and one PATA drive mounted normally (i.e. no lvm2/md/whatever). Last night, I was copying about 26GB from the standalone PATA drive to the RAID array. At the same time, I was ripping a DVD to the RAID drive via NFS (i.e. the rip occurred on a different computer, but the storage was the RAID array exported via nfs). Twice in a row, under these conditions, the server locked up. They were hard lockups---couldn't ping the machine and the keyboard was totally unresponsive. I checked the logs, and couldn't find ANYTHING to suggest the cause of the lockup (nothing at all out of the ordinary). After being discouraged by the two hard lockups, I performed one task at a time: first ripped the DVD, then copied files. No lockups. My questions are: (1) does anyone know what might have caused the lockups? I have a feeling I could duplicate this again without too much effort. Also, (2) is there any mechanism I can use to actually track down the root cause? Right now, there are too many variables: flaky hardware (although this machine has *never* locked up prior to adding the SATA card+drives), nfs daemon, libata code, sata controller driver, linux md code...

I have never bee able to get the sound working right in KDE for my
normal user account. I know it has to be permissions related somehow,
since it seems to work for root. I've got the same permissons you do
in /dev/sound, and my user account is also in the wheel group. I
wonder if it matters what your primary group is, as mine is (or was)

It isn't clear what *kind* of sound the original poster Antoine meant. There is a big difference between playing sound files residing on your harddisk and playing CDs in your CD-ROM. For the latter, you don't really need access to those audio devices but to the CD-ROM because a CD player like kscd only sends commands to it and receives responses from it.

So if your problem is with CDs add your users to group cdrom. If that isn't your problem, play with the options under Control Center - Sound Multimedia - Sound System - Hardware - Select the audio device. I used to have it set to Autodetect and no OSS support in the kernel. That worked. All of a sudden - probably after the update to KDE 3.5.1, but I am not completely sure here - that stopped working. Setting the audio device to ALSA explicitly didn't work either. Now I need the OSS emulation in my kernel and audio device set to OSS explicitly.

[gentoo-user] Wildcards in /etc/group
Hi group, I administrate a gentoo box, that authenticates with ldap. Authentication works fine, and the ldap server is giving my user an uid and one gid : 1000(Domain Users) in my case. I have NO access to the ldap server. I want now, on this local machine, that everybody, who can login, is in another group, maybe audio. I can add certain ldap users to the /etc/group file, which is respected. So my ldap user is in the local wheel group, too. But how can I do this for every other user? /etc/group does not seem accept wildcard users, or group names. How can I do this, without touching the ldap server? Is there a pam module, which can do this? Thank you, Sascha signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
